Subjugation by Nuklear FrostNuklear Frost - Subjugation
Black Metal.
Nuklear Frost delivers a fresh take on Melodic Black Metal (sound that emerged from Sweden in the mid-'90s with trailblazers like Dissection, Naglfar, Sacramentum, and Necrophobic) on their new album, Subjugation – balancing dark, blasting melodies with enraged vocals, assisted by an ominous, aggressive production. Even though this record pays respect to the roots of black metal, this is absolutely current and totally vital. Hammering, blasting, raging, and memorable.

A Call From Beyond The Grave by BurialkultBurialkult - A Call From Beyond The Grave
Black|Death Metal.
This, the first full length album by Burialkult, was intended to be recorded with a style and sound firmly rooted in the spirit of the 80’s. A leap forward. Raw, unholy and uncompromising is how the album is described by Phlegathon. Unlike the “Evil Antichrist Hordes” 7"EP (Blood Harvest) that was more black death; “A Call From Beyond The Grave” has a dirtier Rock ‘n’ Roll vibe with grim Black Metal atmosphere and frost bitten tone.
A Call From Beyond The Grave” was recorded at Cenotaph studios in Victoria, BC, by the band themselves through the months of december 2012 and january 2013. For fans of primitive rock and roll influenced black metal; this album is for you!

Vresnit is the project of one man working for artistic embodiment of the creative rotation within the label Vetvei. He was formerly known as ruler of Kerpg label, Pugna, Vagranok, Nrodum and other projects, now ceased their activities.
Deaf thickets and swamps, heaven ravines, lost voices, unseen birds. Eternal mosses, lichens, fog and ancient trees. The path lies deeply through the thickets and higher to the sun, meeting with ancient human-animals, keepers of the Book. Majestic and archaic canvas neither begins nor ends, woven by the Sledge of Three-Worlds-Animals. The Words of scratches, beats, rings and rustles - all goes into vibrating flow of crudely woven muscarinic Shamanic Drone Ambient atmosphere. Tunvet appears as primitive experience for co-breathing with Earth, diving into the twilight forest and flowing into its beyond. Slow and endless movement in a Circle that appears as Eternal Order. A Myth of the World-Man Creation, a dreamflight, a meeting with the Forest Spirits preying on the flesh and substituting it with metal and stones, giving life to the Ancient Co-knowledge.
Created using field recordings, voices and woodwinds, metal gongs, percussion and "concrete" sounds. Gripping, saturating and transforming experience of raw wind, celestial chariots and chthonic naturalism.

Traditional woeful folksongs of Russian kin by Aleksandr MatochkinAleksandr Matochkin - Traditional woeful folksongs of Russian kin
Traditional folk.
Daring fun, kosovorotkas and kokoshniks, clapping and stomping - such associations we have now with the words «Russian song». Maybe it is truth, but not all one. Here is the other face of Russian song heritage, a selection of songs from the collection of Alexander Matochkin, among which are Russian folk songs, some foreign ones and author's songs too.
Alexander Matochkin was born and grew up in an urban environment, where Russian traditional song is a real rarity now. No wonder ? truly folk, not arranged and not accompanied by instrument song it is a real surprise to the modern listener ? such inescapable, ultimate Russian melancholy is in it.
Alexander mastered the traditional Russian songs in the folk ensemble of the St. Petersburg State University. Fifteen years he studied folk songs, toured with expeditions in the Russian North, has collected many ancient tunes and tales, but has not defended his thesis. Perhaps, he gathered too many Russian melancholy on villages, and had to reserve it for himself.
He himself learned to play the harmonica. Russian songs are not often sung under the harmonica, but it seems to us, this is not a deviation from tradition. Terrible are these folk songs, actually, and harmonica is terrible too.
